Product Details

Retina Display
When you pack so many pixels into a display — over 4 million on the 13-inch
model and over 5 million on the 15-inch model — the results are positively
stunning. The pixel density is so high, your eyes can’t discern individual
pixels. Images take on a new level of realism. A spectacular 2560-by-1600
resolution on the 13-inch MacBook Pro and an equally impressive 2880-by-1800
resolution on the 15-inch MacBook Pro let you see more of your high-resolution
images with pixel-for-pixel accuracy. And text is so sharp, you’ll feel
like you’re reading email, web pages, and documents on a printed page.
The Retina display reduces glare while maintaining incredible color and quality.
Its high contrast ratio results in blacker blacks and whiter whites. And everything
in between is rich and vibrant. IPS technology gives you a wide, 178-degree
view of everything on the screen, so you’ll see the difference at practically
any angle. And you’re going to love what you see

Fourth-generation Intel mobile processors
With the latest-generation dual-core Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 processor,
the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display lets you take your most performance-hungry
apps on the road. That means wherever you can take your camera, you can take
Aperture and your entire digital photo studio, too. Hyper-Threading technology,
which enhances performance by letting each core handle multiple tasks simultaneously,
is included in every model. And with speeds up to 2.8GHz, shared L3 cache
up to 4MB, and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.3GHz, these processors are ready
for just about anything. The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display has the
power to do even more amazing things. Fourth-generation quad-core Intel Core
i7 processors provide the fastest performance ever in a MacBook Pro. You can
make quick work of even the most complex tasks in professional apps like Final
Cut Pro, thanks to speeds up to 2.6GHz, 6MB of shared L3 cache, and Turbo
Boost speeds up to 3.8GHz. And the top-of-the-line model comes standard with
16GB of superfast 1600MHz memory. All of which means the 15-inch MacBook Pro
is ready to take on whatever you can dream up, wherever your travels take
you

Iris and Iris Pro Graphics
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display features Intel Iris Graphics,
which boost performance by up to 90 percent1 — so it can handle both
everyday tasks and graphics-intensive creative apps. Scroll through large
photo albums with ease. Play games with amazing detail. Even connect an external
display or two. It’s just another way this 13-inch MacBook Pro is small
on size and big on performance. The 15-inch MacBook Pro has a phenomenal display
— with the graphics power to match. Its fourth-generation Intel Core
i7 processor features Iris Pro Graphics with 128MB of embedded memory which
accelerates processor- and graphics-intensive tasks by acting as an ultrafast
cache. For even more impressive graphics performance needs, choose the 15-inch
model that combines the power of Iris Pro Graphics with the new NVIDIA GeForce
GT 750M. With 2GB of GDDR5 memory, it has twice the video memory of the previous-generation
NVIDIA graphics processor. So you see many more frames per second in 3D games
and get greater speed and responsiveness for your HD video projects

Long Lasting Battery
The 13-inch MacBook Pro now lasts up to 9 hours between charges, and the 15-inch
model lasts up to 8 hours. That’s impressive battery life for any notebook.
But for a high-performance notebook with an ultra-high-resolution display,
state-of-the-art processors and graphics, and a superslim design, it’s
absolutely remarkable. The built-in battery gives you up to 1000 full charge
and discharge cycles and up to 30 days of instant-on standby time

Faster all-flash storage
You’ll notice a difference in whatever you do — starting up takes
seconds, apps launch quickly, even navigating the desktop feels incredibly
fluid and responsive. It’s all thanks to the new PCle-based flash storage
with even faster read and write performance — up to 60 percent faster
than the previous-generation MacBook Pro.3 So you can import huge photo libraries
into Aperture in no time flat. And on the 15-inch model, flash storage combines
with quad-core processors and high-performance graphics to make quick work
of even the most demanding editing tasks in Final Cut Pro. Since these MacBook
Pro models come with up to 1TB of flash storage, you can keep all your important
files with you.4 Flash doesn’t have any moving parts, which makes it
superdurable and quiet. And flash storage is extremely energy efficient, which
means your MacBook Pro also has the ability to stay in standby mode for up
to a month, without plugging in. So whether it’s been 1 day or 30, your
all-flash MacBook Pro will spring to life, right where you left off

802.11ac Wi-Fi
Meet the ultimate mobile creative studio. With an emphasis on mobile. Equipped
with the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology, you’re
free to unplug and still stay connected — to your network, to your wireless
peripherals, and to the world. With AirPlay and Apple TV, you can wirelessly
play video, show off photos, and enjoy music from your MacBook Pro on your
widescreen TV. And when your MacBook Pro connects to an 802.11ac Wi-Fi base
station, such as AirPort Extreme or AirPort Time Capsule, your wireless performance
is up to 3x faster

Thunderbolt 2
Thunderbolt is the most advanced and most versatile I/O technology there is.
The new MacBook Pro features the latest version — Thunderbolt 2. It delivers
twice the throughput, providing up to 20Gb/s of bandwidth to each external
device. So you’re more than ready for the next generation of high-performance
peripherals and displays. You can connect massive amounts of storage and add
a PCI expansion chassis. And since each Thunderbolt 2 port allows you to daisy-chain
up to six peripherals, you can go all out by plugging in up to 12 external
devices via Thunderbolt alone. Whether you choose the 13-inch or 15-inch model,
you’ll get two Thunderbolt 2 ports, two USB 3 ports, an HDMI port, an
SDXC card slot, and a headphone port. So in a matter of minutes you can build
an entire professional studio with MacBook Pro as its centerpiece

Audio and Visual
You haven’t heard it all until you’ve heard the speakers inside
MacBook Pro. For something so thin and light, the sound is huge. And with
a wide dynamic range, optimal balance, and a crisp, expressive quality, these
speakers might sound too good to be true. That’s because we labored painstakingly
over the design to maximize the quality of every decibel you hear. Dual built-in
microphones are great for when you want to be heard. If you’re making
a FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise from behind
the notebook. And when you use Dictation, they create an adaptive audio beam
that intelligently adjusts to detect your voice — instead of the noise
around you

FaceTime HD Camera
Centered just above the widescreen Retina display on MacBook Pro is an even
better FaceTime HD camera. It features a new image sensor with increased low-light
sensitivity. Which means colors are more accurate and image noise is significantly
lower. The FaceTime HD camera also has a new image processor for sharper images
and reduced motion blur. And a new face detection feature makes sure you always
look your best because it automatically adjusts exposure and white balance
to complement your face and skin tone — no matter what lighting is behind
you

Multi-Touch trackpad and backlit keyboard
In OS X, Multi-Touch is an essential part of how you interact with your Mac.
Using realistic, intuitive gestures, you can switch between apps, navigate
your content, and get the most out of your desktop space. MacBook Pro features
a Multi-Touch trackpad with a large, all-glass button surface. So you can
tap, pinch, swipe, and click away comfortably. Thin and light, MacBook Pro
is designed to go anywhere — including places with less-than-stellar
lighting. A built-in sensor detects changes in ambient light and adjusts the
keyboard and display brightness automatically. So you’re never left in
the dark

iCloud
iCloud lets you access your music, photos, documents, and more from whatever
device you’re using — Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. And it automatically
keeps everything up to date everywhere. So when you buy a song, you don’t
have to download it over and over to enjoy it on multiple devices. Or worry
that a document doesn’t contain your latest revisions. Thanks to new
features in OS X Mavericks, iCloud is more powerful than ever. iCloud Photo
Sharing in iPhoto lets you share photos and videos with friends and family.
They can even comment and post their own photos and videos alongside yours.
And with iCloud Keychain, you don’t need to remember all your website
user names, passwords, or credit card information. iCloud stores all that
for you using highly secure 256-bit AES encryption

Powerful apps included
Out of the box, MacBook Pro is already a document-creating, presentation-sharing,
number-crunching, photo-editing, movie-making, and music-producing powerhouse.
That’s because it includes six powerful productivity and creativity apps:
Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand.7 Not to mention all
the other incredible apps, including Safari, Mail, and iBooks, which are perfect
for the things you want to do and the things you need to do. And, of course,
there are thousands more apps to discover at the Mac App Store
